...balances? Did God make little green organic apples? Kingsolver doesn't bother much with suspense in unfolding these matters; right thinking may seldom triumph in the real world, but it's her novel and she'll run it the way she sees fit. Her heroines are genuinely interesting, however, even when they're patiently teaching lessons to the benighted, and the author sometimes pokes a little gentle fun at their high-mindedness. When Deanna laboriously captures a moth in her cabin and steps outside to liberate it, a bird darts down and grabs a free meal...

When no quick fix could be found, the controllers who direct the almost 7,000 flights a day that flow through the airspace were switched to the emergency system. Some of them were not up to speed on that version, though, and they became confused and started yelling, "The backup system isn't working!" The problem was caused by what an agency spokesman called a glitch in the software--installed...
Sources tell TIME, however, that even the FAA's technical specialists have doubts about the new software. They are concerned that the system has not been adequately tested and say there have been problems with it more than half the time in the 17 centers across the country where it is in use. The morning after the failure at the Los Angeles center, FAA techies warned employees that the center in Albuquerque was vulnerable to a similar software anomaly and that the installation at the Miami facility would be postponed...
